The vestibule train IL certainly a
marvel OF construction. 1t looks as II

beauty Of their ornamentation these
cars are as far ahead of any other cars

The vestibuIes are formed by enclos.
ing the platforms. Their structure is
primarily a broad, thick frame OF
steel extending from platform TO roof,
and supported by strong elastic pres.
sure derived from springs. When two
cars are connected these frames press
tightly against each other, forcing
back the steel springs. This gives
close contact throughout the entire
surface ofthe frames sustained by high
pressure. In this way great steadines-
Of movement is impaired to the whole
train. IL Is evident that the comfort
Of the passengers will be increased In
the ratio of the reduction OF the sway
ing tendency Of cars in rapid motion,
and especially will this be the case
with passengers In the upper births.
1t will also be perceived that the steel
frames act as spring buffers from top
to bottom Of each car, constituting
powerful barrier, IL not absolute pro-
tecti'n against telescoping.
The personal conveniences afforded
by the vestibules are numerous. Iu
